A man arrested in connection to the murders of three women in a crossbow attack is believed to be paralysed by a self-inflicted wound.
Earlier this month, Carol Hunt, wife of BBC 5 Live commentator John Hunt, and two of their daughters, Hannah, 28, and Louise, 25, were killed in their home in the quiet cul-de-sac of Ashlyn Close in Bushey, Hertfordshire, just after 7 pm on July 9.
Kyle Clifford, 26, was arrested on suspicion of three counts of murder. However, he has not yet been questioned by police due to a self-inflicted wound he sustained during the attack.
Clifford was found by police with injuries in woodland near Lavender Hill cemetery in North London. It is understood he fired a bolt into his upper body.
The Guardian reports that he had emergency surgery for the injury after he was found by emergency services.
According to doctors, he is unlikely to walk again.
Although he has officially been arrested, his custody period can't start until he has been properly questioned.
According to the Sun, the Major Crime Unit in Hertfordshire "continues to investigate the incident" but "would not comment on the details of an individual's medical condition."
In a heartbreaking tribute, racing commentator Hunt said the attack had "swept through our lives, wreaking devastation on an unimaginable scale.”
They continued: "The devastation that we are experiencing cannot be put into words.
"We would like to thank people for their kind messages and for the support we have received in recent days. These have provided great comfort to us, for which we are very grateful.
"As you can imagine, this is an extremely difficult time for us, and we need time and space to come to terms with what has happened and start the grieving process."
He continued: "Notwithstanding the horrid evil that’s swept through our lives, reeking devastation on an unimaginable scale, the counter to that has been the breathtaking messages of support, some of which are still to be read."
"Amy, my eldest daughter, has been magnificently inspirational with her control and support for me, which I am trying, trying so hard, to replicate.
"Every message has felt so important, the same as a reassuring hug.
"We know people are worried about us; we will get through this. Sending love to everyone, John."
A GoFundMe set up for the father and daughter has so far raised just under £102,000.
